In general, the fortunes of film studios and movie theaters are intertwined — but on an individual basis, a film’s box office performance can be a success for one but not the other. This weekend’s release of Universal/Blumhouse’s “Halloween Ends” is a perfect example.
For Universal and Blumhouse, “Halloween Ends” is going to be another fruitful title from their partnership together. With the name brand of “Halloween” behind it, the two studios spent more on production and marketing than the usual Blumhouse film with a reported budget of around 30 million, which has already been recouped with a 41.2 million opening weekend.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is an amazing show. There’s a reason the Kickstarter to bring it back from the abyss was such a success. Lasting for ten seasons, there are countless killer jokes, memorable movies, and harebrained characters. As wonderful as it all is, it’s also not the easiest show to really binge-watch.
Recently, Jim Vorel at Paste did a massive article where he rewatched every episode and ranked them from worst to best. It took well over a year to complete. I have a knack for latching onto massive projects like that (ie. ranking every single King of Fighters character because why not), but even I wouldn’t mess with something this crazy.
